WITH STUDENTS FROM THE FIVE COLLEGES AND H.H. THE 41st SAKYA TRIZIN IN WALDEN, NY, 2015

My courses are primarily concerned with Buddhist thought and Asian religious traditions, and for many of my students, my courses may provide their first – or only – encounter with non-EuroAmerican practices and ways of thinking. With this in mind, my primary goal as a teacher is to encourage students to think critically about new and unfamiliar material, while fostering respect for ways of thinking that are dissimilar to their own.
